Chapter 29 Section 5 Concern

During the more than ten most critical days and nights after the disaster, Li Guochun, as the chief disaster relief commander of the Sichuan Branch of Guoxing Bank, traveled to and from hard-hit areas such as Mianyang, Wenchuan, Beichuan, Qingchuan, Dujiangyan, Deyang, and Anxian to coordinate and organize on-site Disaster relief.Faced with the threat of countless aftershocks, and how many times he has experienced the difficult road conditions of rocks blocking the road and heavy rain, he lives and sleeps like the victims, living in outdoor tents, eating mineral water and biscuits, and using moving cars as his command department.He knew the situation of every branch of Guoxing Bank every day after the disaster, and he was even more concerned about the safety of the cadres and workers of Sichuan Branch of Guoxing Bank. He coordinated and supervised at all times, and tried every means to organize rescue.He also grasped the situation of each rescued employee at the first time, so as not to let the second-level branches and grass-roots branches of Guoxing Bank miss any valuable disaster relief information.Li Guochun was full of thoughts about the first-line disaster, but he had no time to take care of the safety of himself and his family.

In the initial panic after the earthquake, Li Guochun's wife was unaccompanied in Chengdu. She had not heard from or seen her husband for several days.For more than ten days after the earthquake, she had to face the threat of aftershocks alone, but also worried about her husband who was on the front line of disaster relief all the time. Worry always weighed down her like a heavy lead, making her sleepless and in a trance.Unable to dispel her panic and anxiety, she wandered around looking for her husband.One day Li Guochun's wife wandered into the front yard of the Haichuan Hotel.At that time, Chengdu had already become a city of tents. As long as there was a small piece of open land, it would be covered with tents like a mushroom cloud.At night, most Chengdu citizens slept in tents, forming a spectacular scene where thousands of buildings were empty and tents were snoring everywhere.When Li Guochun's wife saw several tents in the courtyard of Guoxing Bank Haichuan Hotel, she remembered her husband's life in the tents. Did Li Guochun sleep in these tents at night?Subconsciously, she walked to one tent after another to check.Vice President Zhao Zhijun had a meeting at the hotel that day, and just after the meeting ended, he walked out of the main entrance of the hotel when he saw a familiar figure.Zhao Zhijun recognized this as Li Guochun's wife.She enthusiastically took Li Guochun's wife's hand and asked, "Sister-in-law, why are you here?"

Li Guochun's wife was stunned, and said with tears in her eyes: "Old Li won't go home for a few days, and he won't give me a message. I want to call him, but I'm afraid it will affect his work. I'm worried about his stomach problem. A bottle of Stomach Anshu, ran here to see if I could see him." Zhao Zhijun is also a woman, how could he not understand a woman's worries and hopes for her husband in a critical moment?However, Zhao Zhijun knew that Li Guochun was in the hardest-hit area these days, so he temporarily gave her the "home" of the Sichuan Branch of Guoxing Bank.Zhao Zhijun felt a little guilty: Li Guochun would rather take the risk by himself than let a female bank president charge into a dangerous area, and she was busy with work, but forgot to take care of his home.During the war years, the Communist Party’s army has a glorious tradition, that is, when the husband is on the front line, the rear will carry out vigorous activities to support the army and give priority to family members.The purpose of this is very clear, which is to let the soldiers in front fight bravely without any worries.Zhao Zhijun, the "Minister of Logistics", blamed himself for his negligence.Li Guochun has been on the front line since the earthquake, and Zhao Zhijun has to make up her mind about the big and small things in her "home". She is too busy to take care of every family, including her own relatives.Zhao Zhijun said apologetically: "President Li has been on the front line of the disaster area for the past few days, why are you here? He let me sit in the branch office, and went to the front line to direct himself. Sister-in-law, you should live here, President Li I can't take care of you these days, I will take care of you instead of him, and apologize to you!"

Li Guochun's wife looked at Zhao Zhijun's thin and tired face, and knew that she must be very busy at this time.She thought about it blankly, she really had nowhere to go.Lao Li originally worked in Chongqing, but was transferred to Sichuan by the headquarters due to work needs before the earthquake.She was also working in Chongqing, and Lao Li went to work in Sichuan. She didn't want to be separated from Lao Li for her own work.As the old saying goes, she knows that Lao Li can't take care of herself, and doesn't care about trivial housework. If she isn't by his side, Lao Li won't cook a meal by herself.In order for her husband to work with peace of mind and stop traveling between Chongqing and Sichuan, she went through the retirement procedures, followed Lao Li to Chengdu, and became a real housewife.Apart from taking care of Lao Li's life in Chengdu, she has no social circle of her own.Without Lao Li, her life is lonely and lonely.If she doesn't see Lao Li for a few days, she will be upset, her food will be tasteless, and she won't be able to sleep at night.What's more, when the aftershocks continued and the citizens panicked, she really hoped for a place where she could calm down her hanging heart.Zhao Zhijun's invitation made Li Guochun's wife feel the warmth of the Guoxing Bank family.She readily accepted the invitation, joined the "tent team", and waited hard for Lao Li in a tent.
